I lost an old friend last year to cancer,he was in his 70s and was a devoted fan of the 270 with the original 130 Silvertip load. He had a stash of them and worried that they would run out before he left this world.
He only hunted one spot,a pipeline right of way that faced north where he could see about a quarter mile. He would kill a dandy buck just about every year in his stand,and said close or far the Silvertips were very quick killers. But he said they penetratred like crazy too. He had hogs on his lease and loved to line up two big ones and kill them with a single shot. He did this stunt many,many times. The original 130 grain Silvertip was a pretty tough bullet
